“Fifth Element got us to 100% leased before we even opened, solely because of how well they generated leads and connected us with the right pros.”
Jarrett Jamieson

“Fifth Element has been instrumental in filling our space. They're flexible, responsive, and always there when we need them. I wouldn’t work with anyone else.”
Tyler Cole

Tristynn McGowan

Founder & CEO

I started 5th Element Media with nothing but a laptop, a vision, and the belief that I could build something better for business owners. I was 18, working out of my college dorm, saying yes to every opportunity I could find. What began as a one person operation has grown into a full-scale franchise marketing company serving brands and franchisees across the country. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for being hands-on, fast-moving, and deeply committed to helping owners fill their locations, improve their systems, and scale with confidence.

Today, I lead a team that specializes in the unique challenges of franchising from high-volume lead generation to automated follow-up, content production, and brand-wide growth systems.

What hasn’t changed since day one is the work ethic, the hunger, and the personal approach that clients say is the reason they trust 5th Element Media.

Together, we make it happen.
